The Washington Capitals rallied with three straight goals to take down the Florida Panthers. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators extended their winning streak to four games as both teams took home victories in their new Hometown Remix uniforms!

Capitals 4-3 Panthers

The Washington Capitals found themselves in a 2-1 hole entering the second period thanks to a pair of goals from Brady Tkachuk (10), both assisted by his brother Matthew (20). 

But three straight goals from Alex Tuch (11), Aliaksei Protas (2), and Pierre-Luc Dubois (2) were enough to get the dub in their Hometown Remix uniforms. 

Florida outhit the Capitals a whopping 31-8, while both almost put up the same amount of shots (FLA: 31, WAS: 30). 

Washington's Tom Wilson received a five-minute major boarding and game misconduct after hitting Sandis Vilmanis.

Capitals record: 9-6-0 (W1)

Panthers record: 9-6-2 (L1)

Predators 3-1 Blues

Similar to the Caps/Panthers matchup, the Nashville Predators went down 1-0 to start the game thanks to Jimmy Snuggerud's goal. It marked his ninth of the season, thanks to Philip Broberg's and Robert Thomas's ninth assists as well.

Then the Preds went on to score three straight from Steven Stamkos (10), Ross Colton (5), and Nick Perbix (2 - EN) to keep the winning ways going in Nashville. 

They also debuted their Hometown Remix uniforms that rocked a patch honoring the late Dolly Parton. 

Predators record: 8-4-5 (W4)

Blues record: 7-8-2 (L3)

Rangers 4-3 Kraken

The New York Rangers held off a three-goal rally from the Seattle Kraken during the third period. 

They got out to a 4-0 lead after Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye, and Pavel Dorofeyev each scored their sixth goal of the season, while teammate Jaroslav Chmelar scored his first of the season and the fifth of his career. 

Rangers' Adam Fox recorded his 20th assist of the season as he's now tied with Edmonton's Evan Bouchard and Anaheim's Leo Carlsson for the most by a defenseman (also tied third in the NHL). 

Rangers record: 10-7-1 (W3)

Kraken record: 9-6-1 (L1)
